What is Estate Planning?

Often times people believe that the term “estate planning” refers to the management of affairs for those who are wealthy. However, estate planning is really just the process of obtaining certain legal documents to be sure that your assets and property are distributed directly to those who you intend them to go to upon your passing, and to protect yourself in the event that you become incompetent or ill and cannot direct your own care or your own finances. Estate planning is crucial for peace of mind because it allows you to minimize disputes between your beneficiaries, minimize applicable taxes for your heirs, and choose the right people to help you make financial and medical decisions in the event you cannot.
While everyone’s estate planning needs will differ, estate planning can help families prepare for both the present and the future through the use of basic documents such as Last Will and Testaments, Powers of Attorney, Living Wills, and Health Care Proxies, as well as more advanced documents such as Irrevocable and Revocable Trusts. Our firm will discuss your individual estate planning goals and devise a plan based upon your unique situation. Be sure to click on our “Practice Areas” page to get a more detailed description of each of those benefits and documents.

What is Elder Law & Medicaid Planning?

Are you currently a caregiver? If yes, you know how much time and energy goes into caring for a sick or disabled person. Elder Law is the knowledge (or set of laws) our firm implements to help primarily seniors who are sick or disabled to obtain long term care services at home or in a nursing home…

What is Probate & Estate Administration?

Rebounding after the loss of someone you loved is one of the hardest periods to endure. This time of healing can be made even more difficult when heirs and next of kin may be called upon to seek legal authority to collect the decedent’s assets, pay valid debts and make distributions to beneficiaries. Our firm can advise and guide an executor or administrator of an estate as to what his or her duties are as a fiduciary of the decedent’s estate.

James W. Takacs

After attending a presentation in 2015 given by Craig and Christine Andreoli at a “Prime Timers” church group on the subject of Elder Law, my husband & I decided we needed to get our important documents in order. We met in their law office and they helped draw up Last Will and Testaments, Powers of Attorney, Living Wills, and Health Care Proxies for each of us, thus ensuring peace of mind and clear direction for the future when one or the other of us becomes incapacitated or deceased. In 2021, my husband passed and both Craig and Christine were invaluable supports, helping me and my sons navigate the necessary filings, forms, Estate documentations and establishment of a Trust for my home. Throughout this difficult time, they were unceasingly patient, knowledgeable and responsive to any and all questions or concerns. I highly recommend them for their professionalism and compassion.
